Lomas rescues away point against Santa Bárbara in women's hockey

Lomas salvaged a crucial point on the road, drawing 1-1 with Santa Bárbara in a match that highlighted the tight competition in the women's Metropolitan hockey tournament. This result allowed GEBA, who secured a 2-0 away victory against Belgrano, to narrow the points difference, now sitting just two points behind the leaders with only five regular-season matches left before the winter break.

The race for the top position is fiercely contested among five teams: Lomas, Gimnasia y Esgrima (GEBA), the reigning champions San Fernando, Santa Bárbara, and Italiano. These teams are separated by a mere five points. Belgrano holds the sixth and final playoff spot, five points behind the leading pack, but faces pressure from six other teams within a seven-point range, all competing for a postseason berth.

Meanwhile, the battle against relegation is equally intense. Arquitectura and San Lorenzo, currently at the bottom of the standings, are in a precarious position. In their recent encounter, San Lorenzo secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Arquitectura, though both teams remain under threat of dropping out of the top division. San Fernando climbed to third place by defeating Olivos 2-1, while Italiano dropped to fifth after a 1-0 loss to St. Catherine’s.
